How does the NPIC uphold structures of colonialism and imperialism today?

Did you know that the Non-profit Industrial Complex (NPIC) is global and reaches far beyond the U.S. and into the Global South? The NPIC dictates underdevelopment for poverty stricken and oppressed nations and communities. It has strong ties to race and capitalism. If you work in a non-profit, foundation, and/or the international development sector, this primer is for you!

Join Both/And in analyzing the NPIC from an anti-colonial lens. We will explore the basis for NPIC’s global role and examine how it upholds structures of colonialism and imperialism that are still active today through mechanisms such as foreign aid, the IMF, World Bank, and USAID.

How can we re-examine our conventional knowledge of colonialism and the NPIC?

In this 3-part reading series, we will dive into the history and violence of foreign aid, identify colonial legacies in international development and nonprofits, and interrogate the practice of international development. Over the course of 3 weeks, we will use readings from Chandra Talpade Mohanty, Dambisa Moyo, Walter Rodney, Arundhati Roy, Angela Davis, Michael Parenti, INCITE! Women of Color Against Violence, and more. Each session will include a short recap or lecture from the facilitator to frame the content.
